Male Call

Male Call is a recurring segment on The Red Green Show, in which Red and Harold read letters from fans about the show. Harold always introduces the segment by ringing a bell loudly, then reading a letter to Red. In most cases, Red responds to the letter by talking to the camera, though in some cases he doesn't get that far.

Harold is the host of Male Call. The segment gets its name from its first-season appearances, where it was introduced with a crudely-constructed computer-generated title using the word "Male". There has been no indication in any later episodes that the title was ever changed to "Mail Call", so the name stuck. Beginning in the 1994 season, Harold introduces the segment by saying "It's Male Call!" and ringing a bell loudly.

This segment overlaps somewhat with The Experts, which also features letters from fans. However, most letters in The Experts ask for advice of various kinds, while Male Call letters tend to focus more on the show (in both good and bad ways). This segment ran from the 1991 to 1998 seasons, and stopped in 1999 when Harold left the Lodge to work in the city.
